Title: Leak detection in liquid carrying conduits
Inventor: JAMIESON ANGUS LAMBERTON
IPC: G01M3/00
Filed: 1999-05-28
Abstract: A drogue capable of being inserted into a water pipe and comprising a flexible bar in which are a pressure sensor, a battery pack, an electronics assembly and a magnetometer. The bar is surrounded by a bladder with an inlet valve at the front and an outlet valve at the rear. The drogue is attached to a suitable cable so that electrical signals can be conveyed to a computer to enable leaks within the water pipe to be identified and the position of the drogue identified. Also presented is a corresponding method which derives signals relating to volumetric flow for a series of locations in a conduit, in order to detect leakage and determine locations of such leakage, by measuring flow effects around a (moveable) large body and also measuring flow effects around a (moveable) small body at each location (the two bodies capable of being moved together thru the conduit at a set distance apart). The method is also practiced by measuring the differential pressures around each of the two bodies, as well as detecting localized turbulences, to derive information relating to volumetric flow rate at positions along the conduit.

Title: Data compression apparatus and method therefor
Inventor: MANSBRIDGE JOHN
IPC: H04J3/00
Filed: 2000-06-22
Abstract: Routers for trunk telecommunication systems currently operate at 2.5 Gb/s. Next generation routers will be required to switch 128 input data streams into 128 output data streams, each data stream being at a data rate of 10 Gb/s. Current routers employ massively parallel electronic switches to route data at 1.25 Gb/s. Such technology is reaching its limit and a new approach to high-speed switching is required. The present invention provides an apparatus and method for enabling such high-speed switching by providing a data compression apparatus which comprises a pulsed chirped laser (226) coupled to a modulator (218, 220), the modulator (218, 220) being coupled to a compressor (228, 230). A chirped laser pulse having the duration of a data packet is modulated with data received on an input channel and then passed through the compressor (228, 230) in order to generate a compressed modulated data pulse for high speed switching.

Title: Drive device, especially for moving and turning the slats of a blind in a runner
Inventor: HUGIN WALTER
IPC: E06B9/00
Filed: 1999-07-21
Abstract: In a drive device which is especially suitable for moving and turning the slats of a blind in a runner and in which the rotational movement of a drive wheel (2) can be alternately transmitted to a turning drive means effecting the rotational movement of the slats and to a transport drive means effecting the movement of the salts in the runner, the drive wheel (2) is driven by electric motor and, in addition, the shift of the change gear from its one shifting position into the other shifting position is effected by an electrical signal. For this purpose, a toothed sleeve (3) driving the transport drive means and a toothed sleeve (4) driving the turning drive means is alternately coupled to a drive tube (1), which can be driven via the drive wheel (2), in dependence on the relative rotational position of a reversing shaft (10) in the drive tube (1) via locking members (7, 8) arranged on its periphery. A brake disk (24) of magnetizable material, which faces an electromagnet (25), is mounted on the reversing shaft (10). When the electromagnet (25) is not excited, the reversing shaft (10) is rotationally entrained by the drive tube (1) and when the electromagnet (25) is excited, the brake disk (24) is attracted, the reversing shaft (10) thus held in its position and the drive tube (1) can be rotated with respect to the reversing shaft (1) against a restoring force.
